A Star of the Auto Show Circuit

This remarkable car has captivated audiences at the Canadian International Auto Show circuit and has been featured in prestigious automotive publications such as European Car, Exotic Cars, and Motor Magazine. Its sister car is currently on display at The Petersen Automotive Museum in the “We Are Porsche” Exhibit, showcasing its exceptional pedigree and craftsmanship.

Revolutionary Design and Performance

The Spyder 928's aerodynamically improved design eliminates the roof, bumpers, and glass of the 928, featuring a sleek rear deck hump that conceals a manually retractable roll bar. The entire front clip is of single-piece construction, including a front-hinged hood, maintaining the original wheelbase and chassis dimensions for optimal balance. Finished in Porsche Silver Metallic, this masterpiece rides on aluminum 17” MOMO wheels wrapped in Michelin tires, ensuring both style and performance.

Innovative Interior Styling

The cabin is a tribute to Porsche’s early racecars and Speedster models, combined with Wingho’s space-age design philosophy. The smoothly molded interior transitions seamlessly into the bodywork, featuring two form-fitting seats lined with padding for driver comfort. The single-piece windscreen wraps around the dashboard, aligning with slim door windows. The body-colored dashboard blends into the center console, housing a custom-designed short shifter with a black MOMO gear knob and leather boot. The mechanical handbrake has been replaced with an electrically operated system. A three-spoke MOMO steering wheel sits ahead of the original Porsche 928 instrumentation, with an odometer reading just over 6k miles.

Enhanced Performance and Maintenance

Under the hood, the Spyder 928 retains its original 4.5L aluminum V8 engine and 5-speed manual transaxle. The engine’s heads have been ported and polished, and a straight pipe exhaust system has been installed, boosting horsepower by approximately 30 HP over the stock configuration. A custom front sway bar enhances handling, and the engine belts, pumps, and clutch have all been replaced. Maintained exclusively by Wingho Auto Classique since its completion, this vehicle is in pristine condition.

Comprehensive Sale Package
